Unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information
On February 17, 2021, Rent-A-Center, Inc. (“Rent-A-Center) consummated the acquisition of Acima Holdings, LLC (“Acima”) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 20, 2020, by and among Rent-A-Center, Radalta, LLC, a Utah limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Rent-A-Center, Acima, and Aaron Allred, solely in his capacity as the Member Representative (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Radalta, LLC merged with and into Acima, with Acima surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Rent‑A‑Center (the “Merger”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and explanatory notes presented below show the impact of such acquisition, together with related financing transactions consummated by Rent‑A‑Center concurrent therewith (collectively, the “Transactions”), on the historical financial position and results of operations of Rent‑A‑Center and Acima.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 and unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019 are based on the individual historical consolidated financial statements of Rent-A-Center and Acima, respectively, included in Rent‑A‑Center’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and the Current Report on Form 8‑K filed by Rent‑A‑Center on February 23, 2021, all of which financial statements are incorporated herein by reference. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on September 30, 2020 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2019.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Final Rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses,” using the assumptions set forth in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been adjusted to include accounting policy alignment adjustments, transaction accounting adjustments and other transaction accounting adjustments, which reflect the application of the accounting required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), linking the effects of the Transactions listed below to the pro forma consolidated financial statements.
The pro forma adjustments set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflect the following:
•the Transactions and changes in assets and liabilities to record the estimates
of their respective fair value in accordance with purchase accounting;
•changes in depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the fair
value adjustments to the identifiable net tangible assets and amortizable intangible
assets of Acima in the Transactions;
•changes in indebtedness incurred in connection with the Transactions;
•certain transaction fees and debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the
Transactions;
•changes in interest expense resulting from the Transactions, including amortization of
debt issuance costs;
•changes in stock-based compensation expense resulting from the Transactions;
•estimates of the effect of the above adjustments on deferred income tax
assets, liabilities and related expense; and
•the equity impact of the Transactions and the corresponding elimination of historical equity balances of Acima.
The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and reflects estimates and certain assumptions that Rent-A-Center believes is reasonable under the circumstances. Actual adjustments may differ materially from the information presented herein. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent what the results of operations or financial condition would have been had the Transactions actually occurred on the dates indicated, nor do they purport to project the results of operations or financial condition for any future period or as of any future date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited and unaudited historical financial statements and related notes of each of Rent-A-Center and Acima included in the Form 8-K filed on February 23, 2021 or incorporated by reference in this filing. Assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect the realization of any expected operating efficiencies or other synergies that may result from the Transactions as a result of planned initiatives following the completion of the Transactions.

Notes to unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information
Note 1 - Basis of pro forma presentation
The Merger will be accounted for as an acquisition in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) which requires the allocation of purchase consideration to the fair value of the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed upon consummation of a business combination. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 and unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019 have been derived by aggregating Rent-A-Center’s audited and unaudited historical consolidated financial statements and the audited and unaudited historical financial statements of Acima.
The preliminary purchase price for the Merger is listed below, subject to certain closing adjustments. The purchase price includes $1.22 billion in cash, net of cash acquired of $25.4 million, and 2.6 million shares of Rent-A-Center common shares issued in exchange for outstanding Class A and Class B units of Acima. These Rent-A-Center common shares included in the purchase price are issued to non-Acima employees and are subject to certain transfer restrictions post-Merger pursuant to the Lock-up Agreement. These Rent-A-Center shares subject to the Lock-up Agreement will be released from their transfer restrictions over a period of 18 months, in three tranches each in 6-month intervals after the closing date of the Merger. As each tranche of common shares is released based on the terms of the Lock-up Agreement, the fair value of the Rent-A-Center common shares issued at closing of the Merger have been adjusted to reflect the effects of the respective lockup periods. As part of the Transactions, Rent-A-Center issued approximately 8 million shares to Acima employees that are subject to certain vesting conditions over a 36-month period and thus have been excluded from the purchase price and instead are accounted for post-Merger as stock-based compensation expense subject to ASC Topic 718, “Stock-based Compensation” (“ASC 718”).
The purchase price allocated below has been developed based on preliminary estimates of fair value using the historical financial statements and information of Acima as of September 30, 2020. In addition, the allocation of the purchase price to acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities is based on the valuation of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed by management to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The purchase price and purchase price allocation are presented as follows:

Equity subject to 12 month lock-up period | | 40,161 | | | | 40,161 |
Equity subject to 18 month lock-up period | | 39,064 | | | | 39,064 |

Total | | $ 1,338,397 | | $ 414,060 | | $ 1,752,457 |
1 The estimated fair value of the equity consideration subject to the Lock-up Agreement has been determined based on the closing price of Rent-A-Center common stock of $51.14 on the closing date of February 17, 2021, discounted to reflect the timing of the release of the shares from the Lock-Up Agreements.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations also includes certain accounting adjustments related to the Transactions, including items that will impact the combined results, such as amortization expense on acquired intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense for Rent-A-Center shares issued as part of the Transactions.
The final allocation of the purchase price is dependent on a number of factors, including the final valuation of the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the closing date of the Transactions, the final valuation of the Rent-A-Center shares issued and included in the purchase price as of the closing date and the resolution of any purchase price adjustments pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, the final purchase price allocation and acquisition accounting may change upon the receipt of additional and more detailed information, and such changes could result in a material change to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The acquisition accounting and related depreciation and amortization reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been made solely for the purpose of preparing these statements and may change upon the receipt of additional and more detailed information. Such changes could result in a material change to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
Additionally, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations includes certain financing adjustments related to the Credit Agreement, dated February 17, 2021, among Rent-A-Center, as borrower, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “ABL Credit Facility”), the term loan credit agreement, dated February 17, 2021, among Rent-A-Center, as borrower, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent (the “Term Loan Facility”) and the $450,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.375% Senior Notes due 2029 issued on February 17, 2021 (the “Unsecured Notes), each of which has an effect on the combined results. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations do not include the impacts of any
revenue, cost or other operating synergies that may result from the Transactions or any related restructuring costs.
Acima’s accounting policies have been conformed to those of Rent-A-Center based upon currently available information and assumptions management believes to be reasonable. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and statement of operations have been adjusted to reflect these changes as further described in Note 3 - Accounting policy alignment adjustments.
We are not aware of any other material differences between the accounting policies of the two companies, except for the adjustments described in Note 3 - Accounting policy alignment adjustments and the adjustments described in Note 2 - Reclassifications to reclassify certain balances presented in the historical financial statements of Acima to conform their presentation to that of Rent-A-Center. Additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies, when conformed, could have a material impact on these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

Note 5 - Other transaction accounting pro forma adjustments
Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2020:
(l) As part of the acquisition of Acima, Rent-A-Center incurred approximately $1.49 billion in new debt financing. This debt consisted of three individual debt arrangements: (i) the ABL Credit Facility, (ii) the Term Loan Facility and (iii) the Unsecured Notes. Such debt had an assumed blended weighted average interest rate of 5.0% as of February 17, 2021, the closing date of the Merger. These financing arrangements were used to pay the aggregate cash component of the merger consideration, settle Acima’s pre-existing debt obligations of $152.5 million, and settle Rent-A-Center’s pre-existing debt obligations of $190.6 million, net of unamortized issuance discount and debt issuance costs of $7.4 million.
